Weird.  I do not see that here, on either 7.3.4 or current sources.
Can anyone else reproduce it?

For the record, I get:

regression=#  select to_timestamp('2003-06-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') ;
      to_timestamp
------------------------
 2003-06-01 00:00:00-04
(1 row)

regression=#  select to_timestamp('2003-06-02 12:13:14', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') ;
      to_timestamp
------------------------
 2003-06-02 12:13:14-04
(1 row)

regression=#  select to_timestamp('2003-06-01', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') ;
      to_timestamp
------------------------
 2003-06-01 00:00:00-04
(1 row)
